Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.

1. Why are tornadoes so hard to predict?
2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about tornadoes?

Bonus Activity: Most people try to get away from tornadoes. But the scientists known as storm chasers rush into storms to study them. Their cars keep them safe while they are there. If you were a storm chaser, what would you add to your car to make it safe in a tornado? How would you keep it from blowing away? How would you stop things from breaking the windows? Draw and label your special car.
